connected with the World and formerly
of the Boston Globe, is not accounted
for yet. Among the others supposed TO
have been on the train not yet account

George Bell of Bellows Falls, Vermont,

at Claremont junction, N III.
THE WORK OF INVESTIGATION.
WHITE RIVER JUNCTION, Feb. g.
Investigation of the railroad disaster of
Saturday was continued to-day. Bag
gage-master Cole, employed on the train
which went down. said that the first
intinlation of trouble was, he should
judge, at the end of the bridge, where
there was sharp shock. my theory is
that the first passenger car was off the
track before reaching the bridge, but
because of frozen ground, ran smoothly
until the bridge was reached, when
from the dropping of passenger car
onto the bridge it depressed the coupl-
ing of that car, letting them apart; then
all the following cars ran On the bridge
off the track George Parker, the
brakeman who jumped from the train
just before it reached the bridge, testi-
fed that the train was going at the rate
of seven or eight miles an hour at the
time of the accident. He remembered
seeing fire fly from the wheels, rails and
spikes as the cars passed him; could
not say whether all the auekS of his
car were off the track OF not when he
jumped: was sure the rear
ones were, for he was on
the end one of them: did not know of the
conductor applying the air brakes; did
not signal the engineer; did not know
of the conductor doing so. Witness
duty would have been to pull the bell
cord or apply the air brakes. The reason
he did not he was so excited. The cars
were shaking badly, going up and
down; should think there were twenty
five or thirty passengers in the forward
car: did not go through the other cars
after leaving the junction, except the
third car; he thinks the track was not
torn up any on the bridge, as he walk
ed over it, but cannot say, David Prev
of Providence, r. l., testified: l was in
the first passenger car until
we reached the junction, then
went into the smoker; first felt a jerk
while on the bridge, reached for the bell
cord but pulled it the wrong way, so the
bell did not ring; l went across the
bridge, and as passed the cars heard
cries and saw. fire in the cars; / could
not get down the bank at that end, so
returned to the other end of the bridge;
rolled down the bank, but when |
reached the shore the fire had made
complete circuit of the cars and all the
cries were hushed; cannot tell where
the train was when / first knew of the
trouble; the train had parted when /
pulled the cord, and the rope was trail
ing behind.
